Gran Turismo 6 patch 1.07 now available, includes BMW Vision GT

Polyphony Digital has issued a new title update for Gran Turismo 6 upgrading the software to version 1.07. The patch adds a few new features to the Open Lobby menu as well as to the game’s Replay and Watch Race modes.

More importantly, patch 1.07 includes a new Vision GT car for players to win by competing in custom Special Event Challenges or purchase – the magnificent BMW Vision GT. This sleek concept car features a powerful three-litre six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and delivers a maximum power of 404kW/549hp. The BMW Vision GT weighs in at 1 180 kilograms and sports a six-speed transmission operated by gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.

Here’s an introductory trailer for this new Vision GT addition along with the game’s 1.07 patch notes in full:
